What is 76+487 rounded to the nearest hundred
To estimate the sum of 76 + 487 by rounding to the nearest hundred, you need to round each number individually to the nearest hundred and then sum them up.
Step 1: Round 76 to the nearest hundred
To round 76 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit. Since it is less than 5 (6), you round down. Therefore, 76 rounded to the nearest hundred is 0.
Step 2: Round 487 to the nearest hundred
To round 487 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit. Since it is 8 (greater than 5), you round up. Therefore, 487 rounded to the nearest hundred is 500.
Step 3: Sum the rounded numbers
Now that you have rounded 76 to 0 and 487 to 500, you can calculate the estimated sum by adding them together. 0 + 500 = 500.
So, the estimated sum of 76 + 487 rounded to the nearest hundred is 500.
